Profiles of the Dream Team - The Giver

Submitted by Ethan

I came across an article in a series of articles that talk about “The Dream Team” from a professional perspective and the one that caught my eye -and might be of interest to you- is the one titled “The Giver”.

You can find the article by Software AdviceHERE. You can also sign up to be alerted when more are posted.

I like this article for a number of reasons but most importantly, it really gets to the heart of what it means to a top-level Executive Assistant. It also highlights a number of other famous people who have the traits detailed within the article which shows that you can potentially have both… be a great Executive Assistant AND provide real meaning to your life and those around you.

A big part of our training is about letting go of your ego so you can effectively assistant someone to the highest level. This steps may sound simple but in fact it is very difficult. The article is great at focusing on reasons why you may or may not be a good Executive or Administrative Assistant. Some people have skills and the mindset to succeed in such a role while others do not.

There is nothing wrong with figuring out if you have the qualities that benefit the role of being an assistant… better to find out now than waste time trying to fit a round peg into a square hole. Give it a read and let us know in comments your thoughts.
